Since all GNU C++ users will have egcs or gcc2, and those using
vendor-supplied assemblers and linkers will not use binutils, it seems
it would be better for the binutils version to go away.  That way everyone
gets the programs installed.

   c++filt is in both binutils and gcc2/egcs.  It would be wrong to try to
   install both of them, as this would lead to conflicts.  Currently, the one
   in binutils gets installed, and the one in gcc2/egcs does not.  Eventually,
   one of the duplicate copies of this program will disppear.

I'm the current binutils maintainer, and I can't really think of a
reason to keep it in binutils rather than gcc.

I will note that it is not entirely gcc specific.  It is able to
demangle schemes other than the one that gcc uses: specifically, lucid
and arm (whatever they are).  I don't think this is a strong enough
reason to keep it in the binutils.

I'll mention this over on the BFD list. to see if there are any other
opinions.

	The program "c++filt" is not installed by "make install" of egcs-970828.

This is intentional for now.

c++filt is in both binutils and gcc2/egcs.  It would be wrong to try to
install both of them, as this would lead to conflicts.  Currently, the one
in binutils gets installed, and the one in gcc2/egcs does not.  Eventually,
one of the duplicate copies of this program will disppear.
